The MOWAG/General Dynamics Piranha V platform with a UK mission outfit, very similar in concept to the US Army Stryker (Piranha III with US mission outfit). In this case the UK has been sensible, rather than re-invent the wheel they’ve bought in the basic platform and will fit the bits they want onto it. On manufacture, it’s undecided AFAIK but under the DIS the FRES program has to be guaranteed full tech access and it’ll be handled by UK based companies (although those may be UK based subsidiaries of foreign companies like General Dynamics), BAe are bidding for the vehicle manufacture.
